The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

“biological sex is a social construct” doesn’t mean “chromosomes, anatomy, hormones, and genitalia don’t exist”. it means “these exist, but assigning roles, labels, and expectations to certain combinations of these characteristics is a social construct, and an unnecessary and pointless (actually harmful) one at that”.

Black women got in formation in Public Square to underline issues that really matter.

New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

Last night after Ghostbusters, I stopped to talk to one of the young men about my age. (We had previously established that we both had an interest in film, and he was a relatively well-mannered individual who gave me some recommendations for research websites.) We were both enthusiastic about the film and its quality, but suddenly he stopped and frowned.

“I’m just not sure about Kevin,” he said in confusion. “He’s kind of pointless, isn’t he? Why did they need a character like that? I’ve never seen anything like it before…”

I gaped at him briefly. “Haven’t you ever heard about the Dumb Blonde Trope?”

He wrinkled his nose. “Yeah, but isn’t that typically for…” His eyes got wide, and he looked at me in absolute terror. “Oh.”

“Oh” is right, buddy.

Do not fix your mouth to say that you are anything less than everything. Say that you are every possible definition of beauty and power.

No one is boring. Everytime you talk to someone, you are talking to another universe. Someone with as many memories, experiences, emotion, knowledge as you - maybe less, maybe more. But they know something you don’t. Learn something from them

California’s State Board of Education has unanimously approved a new classroom instruction framework to teach students about LGBT people and events in history.

This comes several years after the passage of the FAIR Education Act in California, which mandated LGBT-inclusive curriculum in public schools. That same legislation also required curriculum that taught about people with disabilities, and banned any material that deliberately puts down LGBT people or any particular religions.

The approved framework weaves references to gay Americans and events throughout the history and social science curriculum, starting in second grade through discussions about diverse families and again in fourth grade with lessons on California’s place in the gay rights movement.

The guidelines also touch on the topics in fifth and eighth grade — looking at gender roles in the 18th and 19th centuries and examples of individuals who flouted them — and throughout high school.

A capstone of sorts would come in U.S. government courses, where seniors would learn about the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide and recent court cases involving bathroom access for transgender students.

I am 10000% here for this.

the people that are pissed @ bernie and screaming “never hillary” and “sell out” n want to vote green party are gonna get trump elected

ask yourself this: “do i want trump to be president?”

no?

vote hillary

bernie endorsed her so /the democratic party isnt split up/

his entire campaign was to beat trump, and lets be honest he never could have beat someone with such huge name recognition and predetermined support

do i like hillary? no. do i prefer her over trump? fuck yes i do

and if you cant see why bernie endorsed her and just scream at him more about how he betrayed you, you’re immature. plain and simple. by being bitter and voting jill bc of spite youre voting for a trump presidency.
